Chapter 270 Disciple, do you still want the secret technique of willpower?
However, having hastily accepted the disciple, the hermit was not yet aware of what this disciple lacked most, so he asked, "Disciple, is there anything you urgently need? Whether it's a powerful secret technique or various treasures, just ask, consider it your disciple's gift."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and respectfully replied, "Since Master understands my talent, he should know that what I need most are various powerful secret techniques."
"I've already made arrangements for that, so you don't need to worry." The Mountain Guest waved his hand. "Tell me your other requirements."
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "Although my talent can analyze all things, it requires special energy from the origin of the universe as a driving force."
"In the past, disciples could only obtain this by slaying alien races of the same or higher rank. Does Master have any other methods?"
The energy required to optimize the system is actually the power contained in the fundamental Dao.
Perhaps no one in the primordial universe knows this, but as the God-King of Jin, the Mountain-Sitting Guest must have a profound understanding of the Great Dao of Origin, and perhaps he has a solution.
"Drawing power from the very origin of the universe to drive one's talents?"
The mountain dweller's tone was slightly different, "In that case, why don't you refine a primordial treasure?"
"The ultimate treasure?"
Chen Yuan was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, aren't the Origin Treasures used to restore the divine body? What I need is a deeper level of Origin Energy."
"I understand what you mean." The Mountain Guest waved his hand, "But you probably don't know that the purpose of the Primal Treasure is to help you deepen your connection with the Primal Land, making it easier to draw power from it."
"The primal energy you need is actually at the origin of the universe, but there isn't as much of it as ordinary energy."
"Through the Primal Treasure, you can at least continuously draw energy from it to use as a resource for your talent. In this way..."
You no longer need to rely on killing alien races to obtain that energy.
After he finished speaking, the mountain dweller tossed him an item. Chen Yuan caught it and saw that it was a silver-white bracelet.
"This high-grade primordial treasure is a gift from your master to you as we first meet."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest smiled faintly: "Try refining it and see if you can absorb the energy your talent needs."
Chen Yuan was skeptical, but he still refined the bracelet and then activated the power of the treasure.
The next second, he immediately sensed that he had established a connection with the origin of the universe.
"Just as Master Zuoshanke said, the function of the Primal Treasure is to connect to the Primal Land, which is equivalent to establishing a fast passage."
Chen Yuan felt that he could easily draw the energy of the source land through this channel with just a thought.
However, most of the energy drawn through the Origin Treasure is ordinary cosmic energy, with very little containing the Origin. He still needs to actively activate the treasure to absorb it, which is time-consuming and laborious.
"Wait, since absorbing through the Primal Treasure is too slow, why don't I use the Sacred Embryo to absorb it?"
Chen Yuan had a flash of inspiration: "The Holy Embryo also draws energy from its source when it breathes, but in the past, the Holy Embryo needed to connect to the source remotely to draw energy, which was why the efficiency was low. But what if it were to follow a channel constructed from the source treasure?"
Without hesitation, Chen Yuan immediately activated his bracelet treasure to reconnect with the Origin Land and placed the Holy Embryo at one end of the passage.
As the Holy Embryo continued to breathe, a large amount of cosmic energy, along with a small amount of primordial energy, entered the Holy Embryo through the channel. Ordinary energy was absorbed by the Holy Embryo, while primordial energy was filtered out and transformed into the system's energy reserves.
"Efficiency has indeed increased, at least ten times more than before!"
Chen Yuan opened the panel and his eyes widened in alarm. He remembered that as the proficiency of the Holy Embryo was about to reach its peak, the daily absorption of primordial energy was around 4800.
Now, that number has skyrocketed to 73500!
"This is wonderful! I didn't know that the Primal Treasure had this effect."
Chen Yuan revealed a hint of joy, "If it weren't for Teacher Zuoshanke's reminder, I probably wouldn't have realized this problem at all."
It's not entirely his fault; the main problem is that the original novel provides very little information about primordial treasures. It only mentions them briefly when Luo Feng encounters the "Heart of Space," and this Heart of Space ultimately becomes the treasure used by the Demon Slayer Clan's avatar to evolve.
Furthermore, not long after Luo Feng obtained the Nether Sea Avatar, he no longer needed the Origin Treasure to replenish his divine body, so this type of treasure was never described again until the end of the novel.
Therefore, in Chen Yuan's mind, the Origin Treasure was nothing more than a divine power bank.
He already possessed a Blood Sea clone and would not lack divine power in the future, so he naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to such treasures, thus neglecting another function of the Origin Treasure.
"Furthermore, thanks to the enhancement from the Primal Treasure, the Holy Embryo absorbs even more energy, thus accelerating its evolution by more than ten times!"
Chen Yuan glanced at the progress of the Fetal Breathing Technique, which was nearing its peak, and estimated that the Holy Embryo would enter the final stage in less than half a month: the Primordial Breathing Realm. At that time, the Holy Embryo's efficiency in absorbing primordial energy would probably increase dramatically.
"The current absorption rate is already equivalent to killing one military lord immortal every day. Once the sacred embryo evolves further, could it reach the level of killing one marquis every day?"
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "If I can really achieve this level of efficiency, then it seems I won't need to slowly hunt down the alien races anymore."
At this moment, the hermit, seeing Chen Yuan's expression, also smiled: "Disciple, how are you feeling?"
Chen Yuan snapped out of his daze, his tone tinged with excitement: "It's extremely useful, thank you so much, teacher, for this invaluable gift!"
"Haha, I told you so!"
The Mountain-Sitting Guest smiled and said, "Since your talent can bypass the laws of the universe, it must require extremely high levels of energy to drive it."
I certainly don't think ordinary energy would be useful to your talents.
"Thanks to the teacher's reminder, otherwise I would not have realized this at all."
Chen Yuan shook his head. "I always thought that the Origin Treasure was just a tool to replenish divine power, so I didn't pay much attention to it."
"For others, the Primal Treasure can indeed only replenish divine power."
The Mountain Guest explained, "Even if they were to absorb this high-level energy, these people wouldn't be able to utilize it; they would simply have to expel it back out."
After saying this, the Mountain-Sitting Guest continued to smile at Chen Yuan: "Alright, this Origin Treasure is just a greeting gift, but it's nothing to me."
"If there's anything else you need, just tell me, and I'll try my best to meet it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan thought about it carefully. To be honest, he seemed to lack nothing right now; he could optimize his own treasures, and he wouldn't lack even top-tier treasures in the future.
The teacher couldn't just give him the most powerful treasure directly, and couldn't think of anything else he needed for the time being.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan finally spoke: "I have heard that you are a renowned treasure-refining master throughout the universe. Therefore, I would like to learn the art of treasure refining from you."
"Treasure Refining Technique? You're learning that? Your talent does seem to be suited for treasure refining."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest suddenly realized, "Wait, the recent mass production of human-specific armor is because of you, my disciple?"
"After all, your talent is perfect for analyzing the technology of armor and weapons."
Chen Yuan nodded and said respectfully, "Teacher, you are wise."
"So it was you! I was wondering which treasure-refining genius had emerged in the universe, capable of analyzing part of the Calamity Armor's technology."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest smiled and said, "It seems that you do indeed have a talent for refining treasures, my disciple. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a copy of my treasure refining manual. Once you've mastered it, becoming a treasure refining master won't be a problem."
"If you want to pursue further studies later, I will teach you more advanced content."
As he spoke, the mountain dweller took out a large box with a diameter of three meters and threw it over.
Chen Yuan took a look and saw that it was filled with books, all with the words "Refining Treasure Manual" written on the cover.
"Oh, right, since you can analyze armor, I'll give you these little gadgets too."
Several more items were thrown over, and Chen Yuan picked them up and found that they were four water droplets.
"These are the offspring derived from the 'Original Soul,' namely the Soldier Soul, General Soul, King Soul, and Emperor Soul, just like the armor you analyzed, only they are more focused on soul amplification."
The Mountain-Sitting Guest explained with a smile, "Although the original soul's sub-body requires an Earth soul to use, I believe in your talent, my disciple..."
Sooner or later, we'll be able to analyze the technology inside, so you can take it and study it at your leisure.
Upon hearing that these were actually original soul fragments, Chen Yuan was overjoyed: "Thank you, teacher!"
With these original soul sub-bodies, even if he doesn't break through to immortality, his soul strength can increase dramatically again!
"These sub-bodies are just small things, after all, they were only split off from the Calamity Armor and the Original Soul."
The Mountain Guest chuckled dismissively: "If you can truly understand those treasure-refining manuals, my disciple, you'll have entered the inner sanctum of the art of treasure refining."
"At that time, I will personally teach you the techniques for refining the Calamity Armor and the Primal Soul."
"As for these sub-entities, you can study them for fun for now."
Chen Yuan nodded. He naturally understood that treasures like armor and souls were merely offshoots of the original "Armor of Calamity" and "Original Soul." Even the most top-tier Royal Armor and Royal Soul could not compare to the original.
He doesn't know the effects of the original soul yet, but the effects of the Calamity Armor are clearly described in the original work: activating its strongest form can grant a trillion times the power of a World Lord!
Even the Royal Armor and Royal Soul only provide a million-fold increase, which is still hundreds of millions of times less than the original body.
Therefore, in the mouths of those who sit on the mountain, these split offspring can only be considered "trinkets".
On the other hand, after delivering the Treasure Refining Manual and the original soul body, the Mountain Guest felt that it was enough. These things were enough for his little apprentice to digest for quite some time.
So he asked directly, "Alright, disciple, is there anything else you want? If not, come with me. Your master has prepared a good place for you to cultivate."
Chen Yuan indeed had no further requests for the time being, but just as he was about to nod, he suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"My willpower is quite strong now, but I always feel that my mental will should have other uses, but I have never been able to find the right way to use it."
"Teacher, may I ask if there are any secret techniques in this world that utilize willpower?"
Upon hearing this question, the Mountain-Sitting Guest clearly hesitated, then couldn't help but ask, "Disciple, you still want the secret technique of willpower?"
